Osten

Walking through Leipzig’s East you will delve into the most multicultural area in town. International groceries lie right next to tattoo studios and shisha bars at buzzing Eisenbahnstraße while illegal bars and independent art spaces are hidden in the side streets. Some of these semi-official spaces are hard to find unless you find a young local that helps you to find your way. Even though the charm of Leipzig’s East might sometimes need a second sight you will quickly discover the hidden treasures of this diverse neighbourhood.

Kleine Stadtfarm

Since 2012 the non-profit project “Kleine Stadtfarm” is running a small urban farm which offers families a break from the hectic city life. Goats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, horses and pigs roam around - a few of them have been saved from the butcher. Children and adults are invited to visit the farm: They can ride a pony, pet and feed the animals or even clean the stables. The entrance is free but donations are welcome.
